T & N O Blues Songtext
von Lucille Bogan

The train I ride, is 18 coaches long
Train I ride, 18 coaches long
And the man that I love, done been here and gone

I hate to hear, that T & N O blow
I hate to hear, that T & N O blow
Puts my mind on the wander, makes me want to go


Going to beat the train to the crossing, going to burn the trestle down
Beat the train to the crossing, going to burn the trestle down
That′s the onliest way, I can keep my man in town

He's a railroad man and he sure do love to ride
He′s a railroad man, sure do love to ride
If he don't ride that T & N O, he sure ain't satisfied

Gon′ to fall down on my knees, pray to the Lord above
Fall down on my knees, pray to the Lord above
Please send me back, the only man I love
